I have boxes of photos from the old days and love going through them. It sort of rekindles the memories. Unfortunately my dad is, well he's sort of gone mate. Still, despite that he is still my dad and I will remember him the way he was. I guess part of the sadness for me is that fact that I'm also getting on a bit, 50 in early March, and sort of feel my mortality a little more than when I was 25. I wonder if that will be me one day, but I know it won't...I'm not going into one of those places. I've got other plans.

It's always hard to go see dad, I know what I'm going to get I suppose...But I go. 

*Losing someone who is still around* is a terrible thing, I don't just mean in the respect of dementia. It could be a broken relationship, marriage, son or daughter friend. It eats at a person...[Sigh]. Life is tough sometimes, but it is all we have...Best to live it the best we can, value those we value (including ourselves) and lament the loss when it happens, but look to the future. Something like that anyway. 

Thanks for your message...Here have some of these...
